Training & qualifications
Dr. Hiren Patel completed MBBS and MS (Ortho) at B.J. Medical College, Ahmedabad, followed by a residency at Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad. He then trained internationally in joint replacement across four countries - knee arthroplasty at Grenoble University Hospital, France; hip arthroplasty at Balgrist University Hospital, Switzerland and the Galeazzi Institute of Orthopedics, Milan, Italy; and arthroplasty and shoulder surgery at St. Mary's Catholic Hospital, Seoul, South Korea.
That international training, alongside further mentorship under senior Indian joint replacement surgeons, is what the CROWN partial-replacement technique and ROSA robotic-assisted surgery offered at PMG Hospital are built on.

How care is approached
Surgery only when it is genuinely needed
Most orthopedic complaints are managed with medication, injections, bracing and physiotherapy. An operation is recommended only when conservative care has been tried and has not worked, or when the injury cannot heal on its own.
You see what the surgeon sees
X-rays and MRI scans are reviewed with you on screen, not described from memory. Every treatment plan is written down - condition, options, expected recovery - so you can ask questions and decide with full information.
Honest second opinions
A significant part of the practice is patients who were advised surgery elsewhere and want an independent view. Telling a patient they do not need an operation is treated as seriously as performing one.
Recovery is planned, not improvised
Every surgical patient leaves with a structured, milestone-based physiotherapy programme and scheduled follow-up - because the outcome of a joint operation is decided as much in rehabilitation as in the operating theatre.
Serving Ahmedabad and Gujarat
PMG Hospital is in Gota on S.G. Highway, Ahmedabad, reachable from Satellite, Vastrapur, Thaltej, Bopal, Prahlad Nagar, Bodakdev, Chandkheda and Maninagar. Patients travel in from across Gujarat - Gandhinagar, Nadiad, Mehsana, Anand, Surat, Vadodara, Bhavnagar and Rajkot - for consultations and second opinions, with surgery performed in the hospital's NABH-accredited operating theatre. International patients from Kenya, Dubai, Ethiopia, Uganda, Oman and Ghana have also been treated here. Outstation and NRI patients are scheduled so that consultation, pre-operative workup and surgery can be completed within a short single visit, with follow-up available by video call.
